“We have family members all around the world. It’s nice to send gifts, but I want to make sure they get there and I don’t want to have to spend a fortune. What can I do?”
“When I opened my small business, I never thought about international shipping. Now I’ve got orders coming in from Europe, Africa and even Japan. How do I package and ship my merchandise safely?”
International shipping can be complicated. This is true whether you’re shipping packages for personal reasons, or if international shipping from Boston is something you need to do for your business. Each country has its own set of regulations about what type of packages are acceptable, and how those shipments need to be labelled and insured. Freight carriers also have rules and requirements. Making sure you have everything exactly right can be a confusing process.
That’s why it’s important to work with an experienced Boston shipping company. Over the years, as part of our international shipping service, we’ve helped our customers successful ship thousands of packages all around the world. This includes international shipping from Boston to recipients in Europe, Africa, South America, Australia, Japan, and American military bases. Custom crating and extra strong cardboard shipping boxes for international shipments are available, as well as a wide range of specialized packing materials to protect delicate and fragile items.
Special Issues in International Shipping
If you’re shipping fragile technology, manufacturing equipment, biotechnology, or other electronics internationally, there are special packaging considerations to take into account. Crating and protective materials must be deployed strategically to protect your items from the rigors of international travel. This is especially true for air freight and cargo ship transport. Our team is experienced and prepared to do what it takes to ensure your items survive their journey intact.
